The world, I mean our world; is reeling in
myriads of discomforts, intrigues and clueless vices bedeviling the human race. Ordinarily, life is expected to be far
easier to live in; courtesy of the power of automation at the fingertips which
makes it possible to accomplish tasks far easier than what it was in the past. Transportation
is an example of the remarkable achievements which empowers man to move round the
world within hours. Communication is another glaring example, where one is
enabled to speak with another fellow anywhere in the world at any time. The examples
could go on almost endlessly.
However, there is the other side of the ‘coin’
which is giving mankind sleepless nights. Our world is presently riddled with
the massive use of destructive devices like guns of various brands, explosives
and the expertly organized crimes that include armed robbery, smuggling, assassinations,
kidnappings, forgery, drug and currency syndicates, etc. The spate of insurgencies
at various locations around the world cannot be overlooked. It is easy to see
classifications been made concerning how safe it is to reside or not at various
locations in different countries on earth.
Even the high technologically powered social
media which is gulping substantial part of many peoples’ daily activities has
its vices glaringly. It is well known to have been (mis-) used and still being
perpetrated in launching attacks on other people, especially in a bid to blackmail
another party. On many occasions, naked pictures of an unsuspecting partner had
been displayed flagrantly online. Some see the social media as an avenue to
unleash vengeance in return for a wrong doing. Many people also use or misuse it
as an avenue to perpetrate different criminal acts. It is common to see a male
partner inviting the female counterpart to meet physically under the pretext of
being in love. The result turned out to be that the female ended up being gang-raped
and killed!
It is yours and my choice to decide whether to
make resourceful use or otherwise of the technological feats attained in the
present day or remain on the other side of the divide. One thing is certain,
and that is to say that if you choose to make good use of it, you will live
good and if you choose the other way round, then expect the odd result to come
and stare at you in the face. Remember both the long arms and the eagle eyes of
the law. It is still true till today; the common saying that, “Life is what you
make of it, be it good or…”
